I love that you add the details of the whole place. Most people just show the tubing but I like to know everything before I take my 2 autistic sons to go do something.

@scottbartlett2087 2 года назад

You could tell Dawn really enjoyed this, I don't ever remember her giggling and smiling on any other adventure as she did on this one. Glad you guys had a great time, I love canoeing the lil creeks around our next of the woods and this looks like it would be a good time as long as the water is up.

@yankeeinthesouth 2 года назад

Thanks Scott

Have Tube from above the Wye since I was a teenager. And you're right, this river is a workout! 💯 Low water or high water levels, you're working!! But it is lot's of fun! And what a perfect day you guy's picked for that 58 degree water.

@lizpunzalan4902 2 года назад

What fun!! Great idea. Thank you for showing and telling us about the details. Knowing about clothing, changing rooms, parking, and other details are so helpful.

"Watch your butt" and her laugh was priceless. Love it❣️

@mereoxendine193 Год назад

That water looks deep. That doesn't bother me but, it's so clear. Going down the river looks so fun. I had the best laugh watching you go down the river.

Did thus hubby and kids about 15 yrs ago! Sooo fun! We all loved it. Loved hearing the laughter🤣🤣 I believe that tree is a mimosas. It has pink bloom that's kind of feather like. It a more tropical tree but does grow in area. I lived in Ky and we had big one in our yard.❤️❤️❤️❤️

@dianapearson1771 2 года назад

Yes, that tree with pink blossoms is a Mimosa. Not sure of the spelling. They are pretty!!

Thanks for this great video. Yes, the long stick is very useful. You two are always so cute together. Dawn, you are such a sweetheart… 😊

@peggymcgraw1856 2 года назад

That looks so fun! I like to relax more too. Maybe if the water level was a little higher you wouldn’t drag the bottom so much but then you might go faster. I would definitely get one of those sticks if I couldn’t bring my own. Glad y’all had a fun time.

@yankeeinthesouth 2 года назад

@gatlinburg-val 2 года назад

When water is a bit higher, less navigating....for me, I find the river very relaxing, not tense at all! Lots of nature & houses on the river to see, water is refreshing, crystal clear and cool, makes a hot day so pleasant! Plus wonderful, different smells as you go by different things growing. Priceless!

@theonewhomjesusloves7360 2 года назад

@josephgottschalk641 2 года назад

We did this 2 years ago. Glad you enjoyed it. The level of enjoyment is directly related to the water level. Our trip took about 4 hours as we drug ourselves over rock because the water was so low. Thanks for sharing!

@missybrock 2 года назад

Ouch😬

@jaimeg4323 2 года назад

This is a lot of fun. I did this last Summer when I took a Weekend Trip to Maryville and Townsend. I got the river stick and it definitely helped me push off the rocks and the riverbank and helped me kinda gage how deep the water was in the areas . If you have kids it's definitely a good idea to get the tethers to connect your tubes to keep your group together.

Thanks for your video! Newest subscriber!

@Heatherwaldroup 2 года назад

So glad you guys went there! We’re heading that way in a few days and wanted to see how the river was looking. Yes, Definitely recommend the wooden sticks. We went one year and got stuck. We stay at the KOA and see the tubers go down the second outpost and have seen people flip in those rapids.

@Just_me_by_myself 2 года назад

@tammull9267 2 года назад

How refreshing on this HOT summer day. We have tubed many times in Helen, Ga but the last time the river was really low and it wasn't much fun getting stuck everywhere.

@OnCallMamaw 2 года назад

Wow guys, what a great video! Brings back so many memories! We took our daughter there every year when she was growing up and always had a wonderful time! I believe those are Pink Mimosa trees at the start of the trip. Can't wait til our grandson is old enough to take to River Rat! Happy day!

Y'all were so fun to watch. I want to do that some day. My kids and ex-husband did it once when we were down there but me and my oldest daughter went shopping lol.
